Our top priority must be to CREATE JOBS!!

  • According to the California Research Service, every 100,000 good jobs that we add to our economy have a $2.4 billion direct impact on the State General Fund.
  • Mendota's unemployment rate is 40%.

The lack of water is devastating entire communities up and down the Valley.

  • Over 500,000 acres of farmland have been left fallow.
  • Tiny fish aren't as important as people! Turn on the pumps now!

We must reform our state's broken education system.

  • Kern County's dropout rate is almost 27%.
  • California spends more incarcerating 167,000 adults than it does to educate 226,000 students in its 10-campus University of California system.
